I am trying to find a good car to start off on the track... It needs to be road legal as i want to take it to the ring too and not to expensive to start off with.

Only car i can think of so far is a CRX... i want to stay jap really..

Any ideas?

I know of a Saxo VTS on TB's - plus there is a 2.0 nova in the General Forsale section for £1400 i think ?!?! [i know not Jap - but both have potential]

GrahamG

not a nova... i need to be seen in it!

There was a nova in the general section. It was my brothers but didn't read the rules properly and thread was locked, my fault as it wasn't my car. It's a cracking car, looks almost completley standard, no rust and still with 1.4 merit badges

For £1400 you can't go wrong really, a good track beast on a budget

GrahamG

NOT A NOVA! lol

Whats your budget for the first year, including buying the car and preparing it?

Pug 205, 309, BMW E36, or for something a little different but with bags of potential........Porker 944 ???

Jap cars - CRX is a good choice, how about a Honda Civic (n/a 1.6 FWD), Toyota Starlet turbo (1.3 turbo FWD). Diahatsu Charade Gtti (993cc turbo FWD but really light), Mazda 323 turbo (1.8 turbo, 4x4), or for a RWD, Datsun 240Z (might be pricey though!)
